Personal speaker evolution

JBL L-26, 1976,
Bose 901 series I, 1976,
JBL L-166, 1978 or 1979,
sold system, quit music, got cheap noise maker with $100 AAL speakers, got re-acquainted with old friend who borrowed some records, and never returned them. Got me thinking about it again,
Bose 901 series II, 1997, very briefly,
JBL 4312, 1997,
Found Audiogon,
Meadowlark Audio Ospreys, 2003,
Wilson Audio Witts, 2006,
Dates are approximate. I'm sure I missed some, like the Advents, the Altecs, etc. Can't remember when I had them. The time when I quit music was the time in my life that was overtaken by the need to be in a constant party atmosphere. Quit that expensive habit for another one....

Going back from the present:

Gershman Acoustics Sonogram
Wilson Witt II
Meadowlark Audio Osprey
JBL 4312
This goes back about 8 or nine years. There were probably 15 to 20 others prior to this. While at Sound World in Appleton, Wi. waiting for my freshly repaired Marantz 1250 amplifier to be brought out to me, I was seated in front of a $45K system that blew me away. That was when I owned the JBL 4312's and realized that they were now seriously lacking and nowhere near where I wanted to be. Same went for the rest of my system. Ended up changing out everything.
